PREFACE. 

The  original  volume  of  which  this  is  a  transcript  is  to  be  found  in 
the  British  Museum  (Egerton,  1780)  and  is  indexed  as  "  Register  of 
proceedings  of  the  Archbishop  of  DubUn's  Court  of  Pie-poudre  at  the 
Tolbooth  at  DubUn,  and  of  other  courts  of  the  same  at  St.  Sepulchre's, 
Finglas,  Tallagh  and  elsewhere  in  county  DubUn,  held  before  Richard 
BeUing,  steward  ;  28-32  Eliz.  (1586-90),  Eitg.  and  Lat.  Paper  FoUo.' 
The  endorsement,  however,  is  "  Proceedings  of  the  Court  of  Piepowder, 
DubUn,  1586-7,"  which  was  taken  from  the  first  entry  in  the  Court  Book, 
and  so  is  very  misleading  as  to  its  contents.  The  volume  itself  formed 
part  of  the  library  of  W.  Monck  Mason,  and  was  purchased  at  the  sale 
of  his  effects  30th  March,  1858  (lot  1883),  by  the  British  Musemn.  It  has 
apparently  been  repaired  and  bound  since  it  has  come  into  the  possession 
of  the  Trustees. 

The  Courts  referred  to  above  were  those  of  the  Archbishop's  Liberty 
of  St.  Sepulchre.  A  Uberty  was  a  franchise,  a  privilege  or  branch  of 
the  Crown's  prerogative,  a  portion  of  the  jura  regalia,  granted  to  a 
subject.  There  were  several  of  these  liberties  created  in  Ireland  after 
the  Conquest,  such  as  those  of  Carlow,  Meath,  Wexford,  Kilkenny, 
Desmonde  and  Ormonde.  The  Liberty  of  St.  Sepulchre,  belonging  to 
the  Archbishop  of  Dubhn,  was  of  a  similar  nature  to  these,  and  consisted 
of  lands  and  people  over  whom  he  exercised  temporal  power,  as  distin- 
guished from  the  spiritual  power  inherent  in  his  office.  It  contained 
the  manors  of  St.  Sepulchre,  TaUaght,  Rathcoule  or  Clondalkin,  ShankiU, 
Ball5rmore  Eustace,  Castlekevin,  Swords  and  Finglas.  The  first  mention 
of  these  archiepiscopal  manors  was  in  1179,  when  Pope  Alexander  con- 
firmed the  possession  of  them  to  Launcelot,  Archbishop  of  DubUn,^ 
and  in  1190  John,  Earl  of  Mortain,  confirmed  his  jurisdiction  therein  : 
"  Et  quod  prefatus  archiepiscopus  et  successores  sui  post  ipsum  per 
totam  terram  Hibernie  habeant  curiam  et  justiciam  hominum  suorum 
tam  in  civitatibus  quam  in  terns  exterioribus." "  As  this  was  a  con- 
firmation of  an  older  grant  it  is  probable  that  these  lands  formed  part 
of  the  archiepiscopal  possessions  before  the  coming  of  Henry  II. 

The  nature  and  Hmits  of  the  jurisdiction  of  the  Archbishop  in  his 
Uberty  are  clearly  set  out  in  the  letters  patent  of  18  Richard  II  (Kilkenny, 
5th  April),  in  which,  after  reciting  that  Robert,  Archbishop  of  DubUn, 
and  his  predecessors,  claimed  to  have  within  his  domains  and  manors 
the  Uberties  therein  written,  viz.  "  sok  and  sak,  tol  and  theam,  infangthef 
and  outfangthef,  pleas  de  niorte  hominis,  of  murder,  slaying  of  EngUsh- 
men,  and  of  all  manner  of  robberies,  larcenies,  duels  of  EngUshmen, 
and  of  all  others  within  their  lordships  and  manors,  abjuration  of  fugitives 
and  felons  flying  for  sanctuary  to  the  holy  church  ;  the  Uberty  of  taking 
in  their  Courts  fines  and  redemptions  for  felonies  committed  within  their 
domains  and  manors  ;  to  condemn  and  outlaw  felons  in  their  Courts  ;

of  the  Royal  clerk  of  the  market,  except  that  once  in  the  year  he  was 
to  see  and  examine  the  standard  of  the  archbishop  ;  to  do  all  that  which 
to  the  office  of  Clerk  of  the  Market  and  Keeper  of  the  Measures  within 
the  manors  and  crosses  aforesaid  appertained  ;  and  further  reciting 
that  they  had  within  said  manor  all  pleas  to  a  Court  baron  belonging  ; 
the  privilege  of  having  a  boat  on  the  Anna  Liffey  ;  that  they  and  all 
their  men  and  tenants  should  be  free  of  toll,  pavage,  murage,  etc.  ;  to 
have  a  market  within  the  manor  of  Swords  on  every  Monday  and  a  fair 
there  on  the  Eve  of  St.  Columb  and  eight  days  after  ;  to  hold  weekly 
markets  and  annual  fairs  at  Lusk,  Ballymore  and  Staghconnell  ;  an  annual 
fair  at  DubUn  on  the  Eve  of  the  Translation  of  St.  Benedict,  and  for  the 
day  of  said  feast  ;  to  have  free  warrens  and  wreck  of  the  sea  ;  also 
pillories,  tumbrels  and  thewen  in  St.  Sepulchre's,  Swords,  Finglass, 
Clondalkin,  Ballymore,  SoneghkiU*  and  Castlekeven ;  this  monarch 
(Richard  II)  granted  and  confirmed  all  the  said  franchises,  liberties, 
privileges,  usages  and  customs  to  the  archbishop  and  his  successors, 
in  all  the  abovementioned  places."^ 

I  have  said  above  that  it  is  very  probable  that  the  lands  comprehended 
in  this  Liberty  were  already  part  of  the  archiepiscopal  possessions  at 
the  time  of  the  arrival  of  the  Anglo-Normans,  but  much  of  the  jurisdiction, 
which  was  feudal  in  character,  must  have  been  the  result  of  later  grants. 

The  manor  of  St.  Sepulchre  was  the  most  important  of  these  manors, 
and  contained  the  archiepiscopal  palace.  It  was  formerly  called  the 
manor  of  Colonia,  and  it  was  in  this  manor  that  Archbishop  Comyn 
built  the  collegiate  church  of  St.  Patrick  and  a  palace  in  1191.  Probably 
from  thenceforth  his  manorial  court  was  held  at  the  palace,  but  the 
official  change  of  name  from  that  of  Colonia  to  that  of  St.  Sepulchre 
does  not  appear  to  have  taken  place  till  the  reign  of  Edward  I.  On 
the  Pipe  RoU,  10  Edward  I,  it  was  called  "  the  lordship  of  Colonia," 
while  in  that  of  29  Edward  I  the  receipts  of  the  manor  were  entered 
as  those  of  the  manor  of  St.  Sepulchre  with  CuUen.  It  was  governed  by 
a  seneschal  appointed  by  the  archbishop  as  his  deputy.  He  was  usually  a 
barrister,  and  his  appointment  had  to  be  confirmed  by  the  Dean  and

Corporations,  Ireland  (1836),  as  the  roll  containing  the  letters  patent  has  perished. 
There  is  a  cop}'  of  these  letters  patent  in  Archbishop  Alen's  Register  which  differs 
slightly  from  the  one  here  quoted.  See  Jlr.  Charles  McNeill's  valuable  paper  on 
"  The  Secular  Jurisdiction  of  the  early  Archbishops  of  Dublin,"  Journal  of  the  Royal 
Society  of  Antiquaries  (Ireland),  191  5,  vol.  xlv.  Part  II. 


Chapter  of  St.  Patrick's,  and  the  Dean  and  Chapter  of  Christ  Church.  This 
manor  comprised  part  of  the  parish  of  vSt.  Peter,  the  entire  parish  of  St. 
Nicholas-without-the-Walls,  and  the  old  parish  of  St.  Kevin  and  St. 
Patrick.  It  was  stated  by  the  registrar  of  the  manor  that  it  embraced  the 
southern  side  of  Bishop  Street,  and  the  western  side  of  Redmond's 
Hill  to  Kevin's  Port,  to  the  eastward  of  Protestant  Row  to  Harcourt 
Street,  and  along  the  rear  of  St.  Stephen's  Green,  south,  to  within  two 
doors  of  Hatch  Street,  along  the  bounds  of  the  city  towards  Donnybrook  ; 
thence  to  Miltown,  along  the  river  Dodder  by  Rathgar  Lane  to  Rath- 
farnham  Road,  which  it  crosses  ;  thence  to  Kimmage  Road,  where  it 
meets  the  Liberty  of  Donore  ;  thence  down  Harolds  Cross  to  New  Street, 
the  west  side  of  Harolds  Cross  being  the  boundary  of  Donore  ;  thence 
to  the  Cross  Poddle  (now  Dean  Street),  north  side  up  Francis  Street 
to  within  a  few  doors  of  Thomas  Street  ;  thence  eastward  to  part  of 
Cutpurse  Row,  along  the  rear  of  Back  Lane,  including  Blackball  Market  ; 
thence  at  the  rear  of  some  houses  in  Patrick  Street,  including  about 
half  of  Bull  Alley,  which  it  crosses  ;  thence,  at  the  rear  of  some  houses 
in  Patrick  Street,  and  the  front  of  the  remainder  of  Patrick  Street  towards 
the  church,  until  it  arrives  at  Kevin  Street  ;  thence  eastward,  nearly 
opposite  Cathedral  Lane,  to  the  rear  of  Bride  Street,  opposite  Peter 
Street  ;  thence  along  Bride  Street  (west  side)  until  it  meets  the  south 
corner  of  Bishop  Street. ' 

The  seneschal's  jurisdiction  consisted  in  holding  a  Court  Leet  every 
Easter  and  Michaelmas,  for  the  cognizance  of  criminal  matters  or  pleas 
of  the  Crown,  when  grand  and  market  juries  were  sworn  in  and  present- 
ments made  ;  for  the  view  of  frankpledge  at  which  every  freeborn 
man  who  had  arrived  at  the  age  of  fourteen  had  to  produce  neighbours 
to  give  security  for  his  truth  ;  and  for  the  appointment  of  constables 
of  the  ward,  clerk  of  the  market,  coroners  and  other  officials.  He  also 
held  a  Court  Baron,  usually  on  the  same  day  as  the  Court  Leet,  in  which 
the  homage  jury  enquired  to  see  that  their  lord  did  not  lose  the  services 
due  to  him  but  that  the  tenants  made  their  suit  of  court.  The  chief 
business  of  this  court  was  to  administer  the  custom  of  the  manor,  and  to 
admit  fresh  tenants  who  had  acquired  copyholds  by  inheritance  or 
purchase,  and  who  had  to  pay,  on  so  doing,  a  fine  to  the  lord  of  the 
manor  and  do  fealty.  The  seneschal  also  held  a  Court  of  Record,  which 
extended  to  all  personal  actions  to  an  unhmited  amount,  including 
actions  for  debt  (placifa  dcbiti),  actions  for  trespass  [placita  transgres- 
siom'i),  actions  for  covenant  {placifa  convcnti'nm)  and  actions  of  account 
{placita  compcti).  Ejectment  actions  were  also  formerly  taken  in  this 
Court.  Proceedings  were  commenced  by  a  writ  of  capias  or  by  attach- 
ment of  goods  ;  formal  pleadings  were  filed  according  to  the  course 
of  common  law,  and  had  to  be  signed  by  counsel ;  attachments  were  not 
issued  for  demands  under  /lo,  and  bail  had  to  be  given  and  justified 
before  the  seneschal.  The  officers  of  the  Court  were,  besides  the  seneschal, 
the  registrar,  marshal,  coroner,  clerk  of  the  market  and  weighmaster, 
three  constables  to  each  of  the  four  wards,  secretary  to  the  grand  jury, 
and  a  collector. 

1  Municipal  Corporations,  Ireland.  Appendix  to  First  Report,  City  of  Dublin, 
Part  II.     (Parliamentary  Reports,  1836.) 


It  is  curious  to  find  that  in  1608  the  I/Ord  Chancellor  (Thomas  Jones, 
Archbishop  of  DubHn)  allowed  the  liberties  of  Patrick  Street,  the  Coombe, 
New  Street  and  St.  Kevin's  Street  to  be  united  to  the  franchise  of  the 
city  during  his  Hfe.^ 

The  other  manors  were  governed  by  portreeves,  appointed  by  the 
seneschal  and  sworn  into  office  each  Easter  leet  by  the  latter,  who  visited 
the  manors  once  or  twice  a  year  for  the  purpose  of  holding  Courts  Leet 
and  Baron  and  exercising  the  usual  judicial  powers.  The  manors  gradually 
lost  their  portreeves,  and  by  1836,  when  the  commission  on  Municipal 
Corporations  was  held.  Swords  was  the  only  manor  which  still  possessed 
such  an  oflScer. 

The  Archbishop  of  DubUn  had  also  another  Court  which  was  held 
during  the  fairs  in  the  manor  of  St.  Sepulchre,  and  was  called  the  Court 
of  Piepowder  (pieds  poudres,  dusty  feet).  This  Court  was  inherent 
in  every  fair,  "  a  chescun  market  est  incident  un  court  de  pypoud,"  ^ 
and  probably  received  its  name  from  the  fact  that  it  was  only  held  during 
the  continuance  of  the  fair  on  causes  arising  during  the  fair,  and  that  the 
Utigants  came  into  Court  with  their  feet  dirtied  by  the  mire  of  the  fair- 
ground. The  Court  of  Piepowder  of  St.  Sepulchre's  manor  was  held 
at  the  Tolbooth,  or  Tolsell,  the  Guildhall  of  the  city,  not  before  the 
seneschal  alone,  but  before  him  and  other  barons.  As  far  as  I  can 
gather,  this  pecuharity  of  the  Court  being  presided  over  by  "  barons  " 
seems  to  have  belonged  to  these  Courts  in  Ireland  alone.  Not  only  in 
the  case  of  St.  Sepulchre,  but  also  in  that  of  Kilkennj^  and  New  Ross, 
the  magistrates  of  the  Court  were  termed  "  barons,"  and  the  claim  of 
the  men  of  New  Ross  sets  out  the  nature  of  their  jurisdiction  :  "  Item 
clamant  habere  nundinas  in  eadem  villa  semel  in  annum  videlicet  ab 
hora  nona  vigiUe  Pentecostes  per  unam  quindenam  sequentem  et  quatuor 
homines  dicte  ville  eligi  debent  Barones  ad  tenenda  placita  nundinarum 
predictarum  et  habent  placitare  coram  eis  omnes  acciones  personales 
cujuscumque  contractus  videUcet  debiti  transgressionis  convencionis 
compoti  emergentes  infra  bundas  ville  predicte  et  quUibet  querens  debet 
probare  accionem  suam  per  sectam  duorum  legalium  hominum  secum 
adductorum  post  (quam)  probaverit  accionem  suam  defendens  arrestari 
debet  quousque  satisfecerit  querenti  de  dampnis  suis  et  curie  de  miseri- 
cordia."*  The  explanation  of  the  term  "  barones  "  seems  to  be  that 
it  was  the  equivalent  for  freeholder,  and  there  is  an  entry  in  a  charter 
of  the  liberties  of  London  (Henry  III)  that  "  barones  civitatis  London 
eligant  sibi  singulis  annis  de  se  ipsis  maiorem."  The  Corporation  of 
Dublin  was  evidently  rather  jealous  of  this  jurisdiction  and  gave  strict 
orders  to  prevent  the  citizens  of  Dublin  from  having  undue  recourse 
to  it.  On  the  fourth  Friday  after  Easter,  1565,  occurs  the  following 
entry  on  the  DubUn  Assembly  Roll :  "  Yt  is  agreed  by  thauctoritie 
of  the  said  assembUe  that  no  cittizen  or  inhabitant  of  this  cittie  or  suburbes 
of  the  same  shall  from  this  day  forthe  at  any  tyme  move  .  .  .  attempt

to  be  holden  within  this  cittie  before  his  barons  or  other  his  judges 
of  the  same  court,  against  eny  cittizen  or  inhabitant  of  this  cittie  or

that  no  man  shall  upon  the  like  paine  use  or  practise  eny  covin  collusion 
or  disseit  in  fraud  of  this  la  we  or  of  the  good  meaning  therof."  ^ 

During  the  period  in  which  the  fair  was  held,  all  authority  over  the 
city  of  DubUn  passed  to  the  archbishop.  The  I^Iayor  and  Sheriffs  were 
said  to  attend  the  barons  of  the  Court  to  hand  over  the  keys  of  the  gates 
of  the  city  and  of  the  new  gaol,  but  I  tliink  it  was  done  by  deputy,  the 
keepers  of  the  gates  and  the  gaol  attending  on  the  barons  and  handing 
over  the  keys,  which  were  immediately  returned  to  them  by  the  barons, 
to  exercise  their  ofSce  during  the  continuance  of  the  fair  under  the 
authority  of  the  archbishop.  The  gates  mentioned  were  Ormonds  Gate, 
Dames  Gate,  Bridge  Gate  and  St.  Nicholas  Gate,  and  the  gaol  was  the 
city  gaol  outside  the  Newgate.  On  one  occasion  (in  1587)  the  Mayor 
and  Sheriffs  were  fined  for  not  producing  the  keys,  but  as  the  keepers 
(janitores)  pleaded  that  they  had  come  with  the  keys  at  the  hour  appointed 
but  had  found  the  door  of  the  Court  closed,  the  line  was  remitted." 

At  the  time  of  this  Court  book  there  were  two  fairs  held  annually 
in  the  manor  of  St.  Sepulchre,  the  first  being  on  the  vigil  of  St.  Benedict 
the  Abbot,  20th  March,  and  the  other  on  the  vigil  of  St.  James  the 
Apostle,  in  July,  at  both  of  which  Courts  of  Piepowder  were  held.  This 
register  only  contains  the  proceedings  of  the  latter  for  the  year  1587, 
but  mentions  one  as  about  to  take  place  in  1586. 

Curiously  enough,  there  was  within  the  Liberty  of  St.  Sepulchre 
another  Liberty  free  from  its  jurisdiction,  viz.,  the  Liberty  of  the  Dean 
and  Chapter  of  Saint  Patrick.  Here  a  collegiate  church  was  erected  by 
Archbishop  John  Comyn  in  1191,  and  it  was  probably  he  or  his  successor, 
Henry  de  Londres,  who  constituted  it  a  Liberty  with  similar  jurisdiction 
to  that  out  of  which  it  had  been  carved.  In  later  times,  the  Archbishops 
of  Dublin  found  this  impcrium  in  impcrio  rather  irksome  and  made 
frequent  attempts  to  recover  their  powers.  It  had  become  a  kind 
of  sanctuary  for  debtors  of  small  sums.  However,  the  attempts 
of  the  archbishops  on  its  independence  were  always  successfully  resisted. 
In  1757  the  then  archbishop  had  the  intention  of  introducing  a  Bill 
in  Parliament  to  cause  the  return  to  him  of  the  powers  which  his  pre- 
decessor had  given  away,  but  the  attempt  was  abandoned  when  it  was 
found  that  the  Dean  and  Chapter  were  prepared  to  assert  their  rights

'  In  this  Court  Book  there  is  no  record  of  the  Courts  of  Piepowder  of  Swords,

in  a  Court  of  Law.     The  Court  of  this   Liberty  was  always  held  in  an 
apartment  taken  off  one  of  the  aisles  in  the  cathedral. ' 

About  179S  the  palace  of  the  archbishop,  the  court  house,  and  the 
registry  of  St.  Sepulchre's  were  purchased  for  a  barrack  by  the  Govern- 
ment, and  the  records  removed  to  the  deputy  seneschal's  house  in  Charle- 
mont  Street,  from  whence  they  were  removed  by  the  seneschal  to  his 
house  in  Park  Street.  The  registrar  kept  the  modern  records  of  his 
own  time  in  his  own  house.  By  the  Act,  44  George  III,  c.  63,  the  purchase 
money  (£7,923  12s.  7d.)  resulting  from  the  above  sale  was  deposited  in 
the  Banli  of  Ireland.  A  few  years  later  a  new  palace  was  purchased 
in  St.  Stephen's  Green,  and  a  court  house,  registry  and  marshalsea 
built  in  Cam.den  Street. 

The  jurisdiction,  however,  of  the  archbishop  was  gradually  narrowing. 
The  last  exercise  of  the  criminal  jurisdiction,  a  conviction  for  forgery, 
took  place  in  1803,  and  the  civil  bUl  jurisdiction  was  taken  away  by 
7  George  IV,  c.  41,  amended  bj'  7  &  8  George  IV,  c.  59.  The  little  legal 
authority  remaining  disappeared  in  1856,  when,  by  the  Act  of  19  &  20 
Victoria,  c.  57,  the  legal  jurisdiction  of  the  Court  of  the  Liberty  and 
Manor  of  St.  Sepulchre  was  abolished,  and  the  legal  business  handed  over 
to  such  courts  of  kw  as  would  have  enjoj^ed  such  authority  if  the  Liberty 
had  not  existed  ;  but  the  other  rights  over  the  manorial  tenants  still 
remained  vested  in  the  archbishop  till  the  disestabhshment  of  the  Church 
of  Ireland. 

The  records  of  the  Liberty  in  the  PubUc  Record  Office,  dating 
from  1619  to  1856,  were  involved  in  the  destruction  of  that  Office  and  the 
Four  Courts  in  1922,  but  a  Ust  of  them  will  be  found  in  the  Guide  to  the 
Public  Records  of  Ireland,  p.  266.  They  had  been  transferred  to  the 
Record  Office  from  the  Court  of  Probate,  to  which  they  had  been  removed 
with  the  testamentary  collection  of  the  Consistorial  Court  of  Dubhn, 
the  Judge  of  which  Court  had  formerly  been  seneschal  of  the  Liberty. 

The  volume  now  published  is  the  sole  remainder  of  this  old  Liberty. 
It  was  probably  borrowed  by  Mr.  W.  Monck  Mason,  when  working  on 
his  History  of  St.  Patrick's  Cathedral,  and  never  returned. 

During  the  period  covered  by  this  Court  Book,  the  Archbishop  of 
DubUn  was  Adam  Loftus,  who  for  many  years  held  a  very  prominent 
position  in  the  government  of  Ireland.  He  was  consecrated  Archbishop 
of  Armagh  in  1563,  but  translated  to  Dubhn  in  1567,  and  resided  in  St. 
Sepulchre  and  Tallaght.  He  was  Keeper  of  the  Great  Seal,  1573-76 
and  1579-81,  in  which  3'ear  he  was  appointed  Chancellor.  He  opposed 
Perrot's  plan  of  converting  St.  Patrick's  into  a  university,  a  scheme 
which,  however,  he  advocated  after  Perrot's  removal  from  Ireland. 
He  acted  as  Lord  Justice  on  several  occasions,  and  died  at  St.  Sepulchre's 
in  1605.2 

There  remains  now  for  me  to  explain  the  reasons  which  induced  me 
to  produce  the  work  in  its  present  form.  The  idea  of  printing  it  in 
the  state  in  which  it  appears  in  the  original,  with  all  its  contractions, 
was  at  once  discarded,  as  the  modern  method  is  opposed  to  reproducing 

•   Report  ol  the  Commis.siou  ou  Manor  Courts,  Ireland,  1837,  vol.  XV,  p.  399. 
-  See   Dictionary  of  National  Biography. 


these  old  "  record  "  contractions,  which  have  nothing  to  recommend 
them  except  as  reproducing  the  original  in  its  archaic  form,  and  so 
appeahug  to  the  archivist.  To  the  modern  student  they  are  an  impedi- 
ment, so  I  decided  to  extend  the  contracted  forms  even  at  the  risk, 
in  an  infinitesimal  number  of  instances,  of  being  in  error.  The  question 
then  arose  as  to  whether  it  would  be  better  to  add  a  translation  for  the 
benefit  of  those  who  cannot  read  Latin.  But,  as  the  original  was  written 
partly  in  Latin  and  partly  in  Enghsh,  the  result  would  have  been  that 
the  Latin  portion  of  the  book  would  be  translated  into  modern  Enghsh, 
while  the  rest  of  the  original,  in  EngUsh,  would  appear  in  its  EUzabethan 
dress,  and  the  effect  would  be  very  incongruous.  So  I  have  printed  the 
Enghsh  portion  as  it  is  written  in  the  original,  and  extended  the  Latin 
words  wherever  they  occur.  I  have,  however,  made  some  changes  in 
the  original  spelhng  of  certain  words,  printing  /  for  i,  e.g.  "  ejus  "  for 
"  eius,"  and,  in  some  cases,  u  for  the  initial  v,  e.g.,  "  uncias  "  for 
"  vncias,"  and  "  Unifrey  "  for  "  Vmfrey."  There  are  very  few  marks 
of  punctuation  in  the  original,  but  I  have  inserted  a  few  stops  so  as  to 
assist  the  reader.  The  marginal  note,  "  xij  O,"  which  occurs  so 
frequently  in  the  Court  Book,  apparently  means  that  the  case  was  referred 
to  a  jury  of  twelve  men  and  the  letter  "  O  "  may  indicate  the  word 
"  onerati  "  (charged).  It  is  evident  that  some  of  the  book  was  missing 
before  it  was  re-bound,  as  it  wiU  be  seen  that  there  are  no  entries  at  all 
for  the  year  1588. 

In  conclusion,  I  have  to  thank  Dr.  Robin  Flower,  Deputy  Keeper 
of  the  Manuscript  Department,  British  Museum  ;  Dr.  Hubert  HaU  ; 
and  Mr.  S.  C.  Ratchff,  Secretary  of  the  Historical  MSS.  Commission, 
for  so  kindly  assisting  me  in  solving  some  of  the  difficulties  which  occurred 
during  the  process  of  editing  this  work. 

NOTE. 

I  have  omitted  to  state  that  sometime  between  the  years  1257 — 1263 
inqtiisitions  were  held  to  enquire  into  the  jurisdiction  of  the  Archbishop 
in  holding  pleas  of  the  crown  and  Uberties  in  his  several  manors.  They 
are  well  worthy  of  being  studied  and  may  be  read  in  Mr.  Chas.  McNeill's 
paper  on  "  The  Secular  Jurisdiction  of  the  earlj'  Archbishops  of  Dublin  " 
{Journal  of  the  Royal  Society  of  Antiquaries  {Ireland),  vol.  xlv,  pt.  2).
